Please forgive me for being...
Such a bad big brother?
Nanika: Okay.

I...
Love you, killua.
Gon: Mm-hmm.
Ging: Don’t make the same mistake again.
And if there’s anyone you should apologize to,
it’s kite, not me.
from what you said, i’m not sure he’s dead yet.
Just go! Apologize!
( Gon sighing )
Ging: But friends apologize differently.
Do you know how?
( Gon gasps ) Mm-mmm. Tell me.
ging: You have to make them a promise.
tell them what you’ll do next time,
and then you keep that promise, no matter what.

Koala: That girl was a redhead just like you, actually.
♪
I shot her.
But I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t have a good reason.
you see, I knew that the trash pursuing her
would have tortured her alive.
After my rebirth as an ant, I had an epiphany.
I realized that I was doing
the exact same things i’d done before.
Before I was reborn, i had a job,
getting rid of people.
♪
I’d get my orders, and i’d pull the trigger.
What little time I had to myself,
I spent yelling at people.
It was a job anyone could do...
A stupid cycle that continues, even after rebirth.
( Projectile pops )
I just wanted...
To give her an escape from the endless cycle.
I’m not exactly sure how it worked, but...
I thought if I let them take her, torture her,
and then finish her off,
the cycle would repeat itself.
Imagine a dull, simple life in the middle of nowhere,
where one lived in peace and quiet
until suddenly assaulted by mindless violence and killed.
As I shot her, I prayed she would escape that cycle.
( Projectile pops )
But it didn’t matter at all what I did.
The queen still ate hundreds of humans.
And, when they were reborn,
only a precious few could remember their prior lives.
but I suppose it just might be possible
that most of the human souls managed to escape safely.
But I wanted to do something.
i wanted to feel like I was helping them to escape.
But if you’re inside that body, then of course she isn’t.
it must mean that she somehow escaped.
And, though I keep looking, I have yet to run into an ant
who’s told me that I killed them before our transition.
I wonder, did they all escape?
Before all this happened,
I didn’t believe that souls existed.
I didn’t think humans were worth any more than flies or fleas.
They lived, they died...
And that the ego was nothing more than a glitch,
a side effect because the human brain
was a complex thing.
( Chorus vocalizing )
You die, and it’s over,
dust to dust, scattered to the wind.
I believed those tiny fragments served no purpose whatsoever.
( Bubbling )
And yet here I am, repeating the cycle
over and over again.
Although I look totally different now,
i’m still doing the same stupid things i’ve always done.
It made me think.
I may be stupid, but I can’t deny the things I know,
and I won’t ignore what I don’t know.
I died,
and my body was torn up and digested into molecules.
But it didn’t end there.
I always figured being reduced to something that small
would be the end, but this stuff
possessed a power I could never have imagined.
Particles no larger than pollen, almost too small to see,
have enough energy to impact our health,
and not just now,
tens or even hundreds of millions of years later.
and our DNA, which is even smaller,
contains all of the information that comprises us
within an elegant double helix.
It seems small things,
infinitesimally small things,
aren’t meaningless.
They’re needed to build
the enormous space known as the universe.
Just because something is small,
doesn’t mean it produces any less energy,
not by a long shot.
the soul is probably pretty small,
but it still contains enough energy to reincarnate itself.
Does that mean I was reborn to repeat that cycle?
The truth is, I don’t know what the future holds.
Understand this is nothing more than speculation on my part,
but something inside me
is saying I need to stop repeating myself.
If I had to guess,
i’d say i’m forced to live this over and over
because there was something
I failed to feed my heart the first time around.
Have you ever noticed that the body moves slower
if the heart’s not into it?
With me, I just keep thinking
that I can’t let things stay this way anymore.
I know it isn’t right.
I’ll repeat the cycle,
and, once again, i’ll keep thinking
about how I have to change things...
♪
Because I always made the wrong choice.
I shouldn’t have shot that girl.
It should have shot the ones chasing her.
that’s who I should have focused on.
It’s no big deal, really.
it just means I was the biggest scumbag of all.
The price for cleansing a tainted soul was too heavy.
I avoided atoning for my sins...
Because it was too painful.
While selfishly praying
that her soul would escape and be free,
I was desperate to avoid getting hurt.
I shot her to protect myself.
And now i’m trying to save myself yet again
by confessing my sins to you, just because you look like her.
( Sighs )
Seriously...
I’m hopeless, aren’t I?
Still, thanks for listening.
Kite: Wait a minute.
Don’t run away.
You should just stay with me.
Forever, actually.
You’ll stay by me, the one you shot,
and you’ll live a life you believe is right.
And that’s an order, by the way.
You don’t have any choice in the matter.
You may want to press the reset button,
but you won’t be allowed.
Every day of your life, you’ll spend apologizing,
and you’ll work.
I’ll work you so hard that you’ll never have time
to sit and worry about what’s right or wrong.
And you will apologize to me. You’ll do as I say
and live for me to make up for what you’ve done.
if you lose even a little of this resolve
and start backsliding, i’ll kill you.
You can live in peace knowing that.

Killua: Whoa. It’s huge!
This is it,
the tallest tree in the world!
Man: The world tree stands in the very center of the city.
It measures in at an impressive height of 1,784 meters.
In fact, that gives it
the unique distinction of being taller
than any man-made structure on the planet.
Climbing the tree isn’t forbidden, per se,
but you do have to pay a fee,
as well as sign a written agreement.
it’s easy enough to reach the 500-meter point
by stairs or even the elevator,
but, beyond that, you’ll be risking your life.
and, every year, around 3,000 people attempt the climb,
but roughly 94% of them fail to reach the 1,000-meter point
and are forced to turn back in shame.
There’s another 4% who are forced to pay
an extremely pricey fee to be rescued from the branches.
still, that’s better than the 1% who fall and die.
That means that, every year, there are only about 30 people
who are able to make it to the top of the world tree,
then come back down without sustaining bodily injury.
